127 Chapter 11 Setting Port-based and T agged VLANs This chapter provides a brief descripti on of VLANs and explains how to display, create, and modify port-ba sed and t agged Virtual LANs which are more commonly known as VLANs.
Chapter 11: Setting Po rt-based and Tagged VLANs 128 Overview A VLAN is a group of ports that form a logical Ethernet segment on an Ethernet switch. The ports of a VL AN form an independent traffic domain in which the traffic generated by the nod es remains within the VLAN.
AlliedWare Plus Version 2.1.2 Management Soft ware Web Bro wser User’s Guide 129 The VLAN information within an Ethernet fr ame is referred to as a tag or tagged header . A tag, which fo llows the source and destination addresses in a frame, contains the VID of the VLAN to which the frame belongs (IEEE 802.
